Avoid a general pejorative term - superb answer

The reason for it having no noticable latency is that the iPad Pro 6th Gen has a Thunderbolt/USB4 port that natively supports DisplayPort over alt-mode. So you get the DisplayPort signal directly from the iPad's "GPU". | |

| Mar 17, 2023 at 14:35 | comment | added | dzdang | Revisiting this as I recently purchased an ipad pro 6th gen (the latest one). I used the USB-C to HDMI connector, and it seems there's no latency compared to the iphone 12 pro previously. I wonder if this is because there is no lightning port involved with the ipad or better hardware? | |
| Mar 1, 2023 at 14:58 | comment | added | Allan | I would get the Apple Lightning to Digital AV adapter and just use a generic but quality HDMI cable. This way you can be certain that you’re getting a chip that Apple approves of. | |
| Mar 1, 2023 at 14:50 | comment | added | dzdang | I was trying to find cables under the brands you mentioned but it doesn't seem they make lightning to HDMI cables? | |

Minor error referencing conversion; should be USB

| Feb 28, 2023 at 18:21 | comment | added | Allan | I don’t know of any testing done to judge the latency of cables. As far as the USB-C monitor goes, the device would have to support USB-C Alt Display Mode which the iPhone doesn’t | |

Cleaned up answer and added sections

| Feb 28, 2023 at 18:13 | comment | added | dzdang | also, my monitor does have a USB-C input, but I don't think I've seen a lightning to USB-C cable that's meant for external displays. seems all the existing tables are solely for charging | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 18:12 | comment | added | dzdang | Got it, thanks. My 100 ms in the OP was just a rough estimate, but I was wondering if you have any insight into what latency can be expected with more reputable cables? | |
